Customs policy
The highest US court will negotiate about Trump’s tariffs
Many of Trump’s tariffs are illegal – this has recently decided that an appellant in the United States has decided. Trump doesn’t want to accept that. Now the top US court is taking on its customs policy.
The Supreme Court of the United States will negotiate US President Donald Trump’s customs policy. A hearing should take place in November, it said in a document of the Supreme Courts. Last week, Trump’s government had requested that the Supreme Court clarify whether a certain emergency law legitimized the tariffs imposed by the US President against numerous countries.
Trump had previously suffered a defeat before a US profession. A dozen US states originally complained against his customs policy.
The Court of Appeal had denied Trump’s authority to impose extensive tariffs on import products, citing an emergency law. However, the decision should not come into force before October 14th, which Trump gave time to contest it.
Customs also affected by tariffs against EU
The decision includes the country -specific tariffs announced by Trump for the first time at the beginning of April, which affect the dozens of the United States. After that, the US government admitted deadlines so that the countries can continue to negotiate with the United States. As a result, some of the customs sets changed.
In the case of the European Union, for example, 15 percent of the import of most EU products into the United States has been in place since August 7. A central question is therefore how the legal dispute will affect the trade in states with which the United States has already concluded an agreement.
The US government is worried about its deals and also explicitly mentioned the EU in its application to the Supreme Court: Due to tariffs that were imposed on the emergency law, which were imposed on the emergency law, six important trading partners and the EU have already concluded framework agreements with the United States.
They would have accepted customs agreements that had been severely adjusted in favor of the United States, it is said. If the authority was refused, the United States would “go to the brink of an economic disaster”.
Trump had used a law from 1977 for its far -reaching tariffs on many products from abroad. This states that a president can issue decrees in the event of a crisis without the congress being called. However, tariffs were a core competence of the US parliament, the Court of Appeal had illustrated.
The judges had thus complained about Trump’s legal reasoning and at the same time gave his aggressive trading policy a damper.
